Hawaareta Oosuwa 25
1 Fisxoosi kawotidi heedzu gallasappe guye Qisaariyappe Yerusalaame bis.
Festus therefore, being come into the eparchy, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
2 Yan kahine halaqatinne Ayhudeta kaaletheyssati Phawuloosa mootidosona.
And the chief priests and the chief of the Jews laid informations before him against Paul, and besought him,
3 Phawuloosa Yerusalaame ehishin ogen qosettidi iya wodhanaw enttaw injjetana mela bantana maaddo gidi Fisxoosa woossidosona.
asking as a grace against him that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying people in wait to kill him on the way.
4 Fisxoosi enttako, “Phawuloosi, Qisaariyan qasho keethan de7ees; taani ta huu7enkka ellesada guye simmana hanays.
Festus therefore answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to set out shortly.
5 I balidabay de7ikko hintte giddon aawateyssati taara Qisaariya bidi iya mootona” yaagidi zaaris.
Let therefore the persons of authority among you, says he, going down too, if there be anything in this man, accuse him.
6 Fisxoosi entta matan hosppun woykko tammu gallasa mela gam77idaappe guye Qisaariya bis. Wonttetha gallas pirdda oydiyan uttidi Phawuloosa ehana mela kiittis.
And having remained among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the next day, having sat down on the judgment-seat, commanded Paul to be brought.
7 I yin Yerusalaameppe yida Ayhudeti iya yuushuwan eqqidi entti lathanaw dandda7onna daro deexo mooto iya bolla shiishidosona.
And when he was come, the Jews who were come down from Jerusalem stood round, bringing many and grievous charges which they were not able to prove:
8 Phawuloosi zaaridi, “Taani Ayhude higgiya gidin Xoossa Keethaa woykko Roome Kawuwa Qeesare naaqqabiikke” yaagis.
Paul answering for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended [in] anything.
9 Shin Fisxoosi Ayhudeta ufayssanaw koyidi Phawuloosakko, “Yerusalaame bada ha mootuwabaa yan ta sinthan pirddettanaw koyay?” yaagidi oychchis.
But Festus, desirous of obliging the Jews, to acquire their favour, answering Paul, said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, there to be judged before me concerning these things?
10 Shin Phawuloosi, “Taani pirddettanaw bessiya Qeesare pirdda keethan eqqa kichchas. Neeni loytha ereyssada taani Ayhudeta aybinkka naaqqabiikke.
But Paul said, I am standing before the judgment-seat of Caesar, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.
11 Hiza, taani naaqqidabay woykko hayqos gathiyabaa oothidabaa gidikko hayqoppe tana ashsha giikke. Shin entti tana mootiya mootoy mela gididaappe guye oonikka tana enttaw aathi immanaw dandda7enna. Qeesarey tabaa pirddo gada oychchays” yaagis.
If then I have done any wrong and committed anything worthy of death, I do not deprecate dying; but if there is nothing of those things of which they accuse me, no man can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.
12 He wode Fisxoosi ba zoranchchotara zorettidi, “Neeni Qeesarey tabaa pirddo gada oychchadasa; Qeesarekko baasa” yaagidi zaaris.
Then Festus, having conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed to Caesar. To Caesar shalt thou go.
13 Guutha gallasappe guye Kawoy Agriphphinne Barnniiqey Fisxoosa sarothanaw Qisaariya bidosona.
And when certain days had elapsed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to salute Festus.
14 Yan entti daro gallas gam77in, Fisxoosi Kawuwas Phawuloosabaa hayssada yaagidi odis; “Filkkisi billonna aggidi bida issi addey hayssan de7ees.
And when they had spent many days there, Festus laid before the king the matters relating to Paul, saying, There is a certain man left prisoner by Felix,
15 Taani Yerusalaamen bida wode kahine halaqatinne Ayhude cimati iya bolla pirddana mela tana woossidi iyabaa taw odidosona.
concerning whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid informations, requiring judgment against him:
16 Taani, ‘Mootettida uray bana mooteyssata sinthan eqqidi ba mootidabaas zaaro immonnashin, oona gidikkoka aadhdhidi imetteyssi Roome higge gidenna’ yaagada enttaw zaaras.
to whom I answered, It is not [the] custom of the Romans to give up any man before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and he have got opportunity of defence touching the charge.
17 “Hessa gisho, entti hayssan shiiqida wode taani gam77onna wonttetha gallas pirdda keethaa gelada Phawuloosa ehana mela kiittas.
When therefore they had come together here, without putting it off, I sat the next day on the judgment-seat and commanded the man to be brought:
18 Iya mooteyssati iya matan eqqidi, iitaban iya mootonna aggokona gada taani qoppidayssa mela iya mootibookkona.
concerning whom the accusers, standing up, brought no such accusation of guilt as I supposed;
19 Shin entti bantta ammanobaanne Phawuloosi, ‘Paxa de7ees’ giya issi hayqqida Yesuusa geetettiya addiyabaa iyara palamoosona.
but had against him certain questions of their own system of worship, and concerning a certain Jesus who is dead, whom Paul affirmed to be living.
20 Ha oday tana shaakkanaw metida gisho, Phawuloosi Yerusalaame bidi, yan pirddettanaw koyakko gada iya oychchas.
And as I myself was at a loss as to an inquiry into these things, I said, Was he willing to go to Jerusalem and there to be judged concerning these things?
21 Shin Phawuloosi ba oda Qeesarey iyabaa be7ana gakkanaw qasho keethan gam77anaw oychchis. Taani iya Qeesarekko yeddana gakkanaw I qashettana mela kiittas” yaagis.
But Paul having appealed to be kept for the cognisance of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I shall send him to Caesar.
22 Hessa gisho, Agriphphi Fisxoosakko, “Taani ta huu7enkka he uray giyabaa si7anaw koyays” yaagis. Fisxoosi iyaakko, “Neeni wontto I giyabaa si7ana” yaagis.
And Agrippa [said] to Festus, I myself also would desire to hear the man. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
23 Wonttetha gallas Agriphphinne Barnniiqey gita bonchchon shaalaqataranne kataman de7iya gita asatara yidi pirdda keethi gelidosona. Fisxoosi Phawuloosa xeegisidi ehis.
On the morrow therefore, Agrippa being come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and having entered into the hall of audience, with the chiliarchs and the men of distinction of the city, and Festus having given command, Paul was brought.
24 Fisxoosi, “Kawaw Agriphpha, hayssan nuura de7iya asaw, Ayhudeti Yerusalaamenkka hayssankka waassidi, ‘I hizappe guye paxa daanaw bessenna’ yaagidi, tana woossida uraa hayssa be7eeta.
And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye see this person, concerning whom all the multitude of the Jews applied to me both in Jerusalem and here, crying out against [him] that he ought not to live any longer.
25 Shin iya hayqos gathiyabaa aybibaakka taani demmabiikke. I ba huu7en, ‘Qeesarey tabaa pirddo yaagada oychchays’ gida gisho, Qeesarekko iya yeddanaw qofa qachchas.
But I, having found that he had done nothing worthy of death, and this [man] himself having appealed to Augustus, I have decided to send him;
26 Taani iyabaa ta godaa Qeesares xaafanaw gidiya gaasoy aybikka baawa. Hessa gisho, iyabaa hintte be7ikko ta xaafiyabay benttaneekko gada hintte sinthe ubbarakka Kawaw, Agriphpha, ne sinthe iya ehas.
concerning whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. Wherefore I have brought him before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, so that an examination having been gone into I may have something to write:
27 Ays giikko, qashettida asi bolla daynnas aathiya wode I ays mootettidaakko Qonccisonna aggeyssi taw eeyatethi daanees” yaagis.
for it seems to me senseless, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.
